HELLO COTTON.

want to start being a tree hugger. They even have their own website!

Here is some interesting information about COTTON!

Organic cotton is the version of its conventional counterpart grown without pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or any other chemicals, and that makes it hugely different, especially considering that cotton (organic or otherwise) provides about half of all the world's fiber needs. Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically-dependent crops, sucking up 10% of all agricultural chemicals and 25% of insecticides on 3% of our arable land; that's more than any other crop per unit. That adds up to 1/3 of a pound of chemicals to produce enough cotton for a t-shirt, and 3/4 of a pound for a pair of jeans. And that's just not bad for the planet; 20,000 deaths occur each year from pesticide poisoning in developing countries, many of these from cotton farming, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). - Collin Dunn

I have started to go green, my mother currently invested in canvas bags that I use instead of taking plastic bags to the grocery store. I have started to buy H&M's Organic cotton dresses. I don't get the newspaper (the tv is good enough), I reuse paper bags from Whole Foods, I am also buying organic foods (SOY yogurts are the GREATEST!), when I use the dishwasher I use ECOwash and I don't let them heat dry. What I would like to do is buy organic paper towels, buy a hybrid, build my own vegetable garden, create a organic material clothing line, and spread the word to others. I also wish I was a hippy. :)

- Little fact. When I was in Middle school, my school was not going to hold the eight grade anymore (I was in seventh at the time). They were going to spread all the kids out into other schools and build a new one to house others. The one they were going to build, was going to be located on a landfill, that was infact still leaking chemical gases. Obviously after many protested, it was denied.

Hey, Its OK...

If you live per curiously through someone with a large salary. We all do it. You can still be financially responsible while being young and still having fun. Some people say nicksa to those wonderful lattes (which are around 4.00 for a Tall at starbucks) due to their broken budget, but you can still have the things you want while sacrificing others. For instance, if you see that awesome tv show you have been watching just came out with its forth season on dvd (for a mere 34.99), you can get that. But realize you need to give something else up, like say some restaurant meals. If you do the math down the road, buying the 34.99 dollar DVD set, instead of the 3 times you ate out, you are actually saving money. Although, deciding what is more worth it in the end can draw some blanks. For me, I would rather buy a starbucks coffee (4.00), a new pair of jeans (28.00), and a top (15.00) - than go to a bar and spend about that on a round of drinks and a ridiculous amount of munchie food when the buzz sets in. Not that I don't like to have a drink now and then, but when I first moved to where I am, I spent all of my money on going out. It gets expensive when I would hit a bar three or four nights a week. So I found other vices, budgeting my money for fashion, which I love the most. (my parents always drill me on clothes, why I keep buying them, I just tell them "Least its not crack"). But I am also saving up some mullah to travel, I am hoping in six months, traveling will become one of my main vices.

Anyways, whats to earning money, if you never get to actually enjoy it?

Pleasure is never worth the pain.

Its been awhile. My life had kind of done this shining light realization. Which I think is a great thing, seeing I haven't had one of those, since only god knows when. I have been really busy, busy up to my eye balls. thats another great thing. So I have been by myself for a total of 6 days, wondering and working in a town that i barely know anyone, family being 3,000 miles away. I actually started to love it. I depended on myself. It was so nice.

Well I have decided I am going to get two tattoos. I have been deciding about this for about 2 years now, its now or never. I will probably get my first one in the next coming weeks and then my second following the first. The first one will be a Leo symbol near the ankle bone on my foot. The other I will have on my neck, below my hair line that says "Quelle Belle Vie". Look it up in a French translation. Its a wonderful saying folks. See, I have been this up tight person for 20 years, its time to live life, rebel a little bit and just love the state your mind is in. I don't regret anything I have done in my life and I will continue to live that motto till the day I die. I have a guilty conscience EVEN though I have done nothing. GET THAT!

Anyways, a quick update. I am turning 21 in.........174 days!.... oh shush, dumb birthday being in friggen AUGUST!.
